Of course, Adeline was very well aware that she had Theodore's power flowing inside of her. So she didn't say anything to the fortune-teller.

The fortune-teller was however surprised again because she didn't get the expression or reaction that she was expecting from Adeline. "I assume that you are aware of it then." The lady puckered her lips and was trying her best to maintain her calm.

She took a deep breath again and managed to smile at Adeline. Then she held out her hands again for Adeline to hold and said, "Let me try again. You still want me to see into your future don't you?"

Adeline smiled back and then cautiously held the lady's hand again.

This time the lady did not throw Adeline's hand. She closed her eyes and began to concentrate.

The orb that was on the table started to glow even brightly. But smoke-like substance filled the orb and the light began to dim down soon after. The smoke whirled inside the orb for some more time. And after a while, a white light started to appear inside the orb which cleared the smoke.

The fortune-teller finally opened her eyes and then let go of Adeline's hand.

Adeline darted her eyes at the orb and then at the lady. Her eyes were filled with curiosity; she wanted to know the meaning of what was being shown in the orb.

The lady did not seem that impressed with Adeline's future, rather she had a sorry face. She slowly began to interpret what she saw in Adeline's future, "I see that your life is currently filled with a lot of problems. And I also see that the problems will not leave your side for a very long time."

She looked into Adeline's innocent eyes and kept on giving her predictions, "I don't know why a gentle and kind lady like you has so many enemies, but I can tell that your enemies are very close to you. Your enemies call themselves your family."

Adeline was nodding her head subconsciously. She was thinking that this fortune-teller was an expert in what she did.

The fortune-teller looked as if she was pitying Adeline a lot. "I suggest that you keep your distance from them, they do not bring good fortune to you. And don't trust people around you as easily as you do. All they do is bring trouble to you, inflict pain and cause deaths of your loved ones."

"They already have!" Adeline wanted to shout. Anger was slowly building up inside of her thinking about the people as the likes of Lillian.

The expression in the fortune-teller's face turned grim. And as if the orb was also reacting to her feelings, its color changed from blue to black.

She clenched her dress and then spoke in a pain-stricken voice, "Deaths… I see a lot of deaths around you." She paused for a while and then said, "Don't forget to seek help from your guardians, they might help you in preventing a considerable number of deaths."

Adeline felt a sharp pain in her heart. She had already seen a fair share of deaths of her loved ones. And the fortune-teller was telling her that even more deaths were to come… and that also in a large number…

The Princess felt like her heart was being stabbed by a sharp knife. The pain was so great that she clenched the part of the cloth that was on her chest and coughed. She felt as though something was suffocating her.

The fortune-teller was concerned about Adeline and she quickly held her hand and asked, "Are you alright young lady?"

"Do I look like I am okay?" Adeline was screaming in her mind.

And in the next moment, something unexpected happened. Or well… something expected happened. Theodore teleported into that room in a dramatic way. First, a mist of dark cloud spread in the whole room and when it cleared, the Devil was standing behind Adeline, while winching in great pain.

He saw that Adeline was in an unknown place and an unknown lady was holding her hand. He immediately jumped to a conclusion, he thought that the woman was hurting Adeline. In a flash, Theodore grabbed the fortune-teller by her arm and then dragged her away from Adeline.

And then he growled in anger, his eyes glowing pure red, "What did you do to her?"

Adeline ran to their side and tried to pull Theodore away from the poor lady. But she could not move him, not even the distance of a hair strand. "Theodore! Leave her now!" Adeline yelled at Theodore so as to get through to him. "She didn't do anything!"

Theodore closed his eyelids and when he opened them, his eyes were back to golden color. But he was still holding the fortune-teller tightly. He turned his head to check if Adeline was hurt somewhere and asked, "Are you sure? She was not the one to hurt you?"

"No, she didn't hurt me. So will you please leave her?" Adeline was giving an intense stare to Theodore.

And Theodore left that woman and grabbed Adeline by her shoulders, "What happened? Why were you in such a great pain then?"

"I…" Adeline was about to tell why she felt the pain but her eyes fell on the fortune-teller. She was trembling like a weak leaf and her knees were visibly wobbly. And while Adeline was still looking, she slammed her back against the wall and slid down to the floor.

The fortune-teller knew exactly who Theodore was and she was extremely overwhelmed by his presence. Never in her life had she thought that she would come face to face with an ancient Devil, the son of God himself!

Adeline sprinted towards that lady and asked, "Miss, are you okay? Do you need some help?"

But the lady smiled at Adeline and whispered, "You are very lucky to have him as your guardian."

Adeline was taken aback by this response from that woman. She knew that she was good at predicting things, but she had not imagined her to be this good. Adeline just smiled at her and helped her to get up.

And what that lady did next surprised Adeline even more. She bowed to Theodore and said, "Devil Prince Theodore, it is an honor to be in your presence."

Even Theodore was surprised by this response. "You know who I am? When did I become this famous that a human is recognizing me?"

The woman smiled at Theodore and then said while showing immense respect for him, "I have spent several years of my life at the foot of the Hill of Grimmer Death. And I am not saying this to offend you but we have closely watched you and your actions for a long time to know that you are not the Devil that people think you are."

Theodore gave a quick up-and-down flash of the eyebrows to Adeline and grinned. He was boasting to Adeline that he was being praised by someone.

Adeline controlled her urge to smile and looked away from Theodore.

The woman then turned towards Adeline and bowed to her as well; which, needless to say, surprised Adeline again. "Princess Adeline, allow me to reintroduce myself."

"Hold on! You knew I am a Princess?" Adeline was constantly being surprised by this woman.

The lady smiled and said, "I knew it from the moment that you all walked in."

"But how?" Adeline wanted to know how it was possible when all of them were in disguise. "Was it so obvious that we were Princes and Princesses?"

The lady chuckled and then replied, "No. I knew it because we have been keeping track of everyone in the Palace."

Adeline took a few steps back and then gave an intimidating look to that woman, "You have been tracking us? Are you a spy? Tell me who sent you?"

That woman bowed to the Princess again and introduced her, "I am Agnes, a witch of the Mystic Coven. I used to work in the Palace several years ago. I used to be a Court Lady of Queen Lillian."

Her introduction caught both Theodore and Adeline's attention. "She used to work for Lillian? Or does she still work for that witch?" Adeline thought.

And Theodore immediately asked with a pair of glowing red eyes, "Do you work for Lillian?"

Agnes answered without being intimidated by the Devil this time, "I used to work for her but I did that under the order of our coven leader. I work for no one else except for High Priestess Tabitha, our coven leader."

"Then why are you spying on us? Are you planning to do something to the Palace?" Adeline glared at Agnes and demanded to know the reason for that offense.

Agnes sincerely replied to Adeline, "We are especially keeping our eyes on Lillian. She has been using several types of dark magic lately. She has opened the door to other worlds several times already. Our purpose is to stop Lillian before she destroys this peaceful Kingdom."

"What do you mean by she opened the gate to the other worlds?" Adeline was starting to feel even more uneasy. Lillian was doing something and she had no idea what that was. And she did not like to be kept in the dark. She wanted to know what exactly Lillian was up to so that she could also prepare herself accordingly.

But there was a knock on the door. "Adeline… how much time will it still take?" Nefriti shouted from the other side.

Theodore let out a small sigh of relief because this questioning round was going to reveal some things that he had hid from the Princess.
